“‘What’s it like to fall in love, Tessie?’ I asked. She gazed into the darkness for a long moment, then her smile widened. ‘Well, when you see that certain man, your heart flies like paper on the wind— don’t matter if you see him one minute ago or one year ago. When you with him, ain’t nothing or nobody else in the whole world but him. You might be walking down the same old street you walk on every day, but if you with him, your feet don’t hardly touch the ground, like you just floating on a little cloud. And honey, you want his arms to be around you more than you want air to breathe.’” - “A Candle in the Darkness”

“There is one sin which I have come to fear above all others. Certainty. Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance. Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand in hand with doubt.” - “Conclave”

“Wherever I'm lacking
It's He who makes me whole
Shining through the darkness
And cleaning out my soul
While I'm fighting daily battles
On Him, I can depend
When I open up my heart
And let Him in

When I lie awake at night, fed up with myself
And wonder if I'm good enough for me or someone else
But I know that God does
Well, I know that God does”

“An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, ‘Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.’” - Luke 9:46-48
